Term 1 Week 1

Happy New Year and welcome back! I would like to extend a warm welcome to all families, both returning and new. I am very happy to continue my role in the Tirkandi Library and look forward to participating in a very busy and exciting year. Please feel welcome to visit the library and check out our wonderful space if you have not yet done so. I look forward to meeting some new faces!

PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE

As we embark on a brand new year once again we look forward to beginning the Premier's Reading Challenge. Please collect challenge forms from class teachers or the library.

BORROWING

Early Years – Reception, Years 1/2 children can borrow 2 books

Torrens – Years 3/4 children can borrow 4 books

Fisher – Years 5, 6 & 7 children can borrow 6 books

Parents – Can borrow up to 10 books

Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bag and to borrow regularly.

RETURNING

Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box or directly into the green returns box in the library. Please note that lost or damaged books will incur a $10 payment. If the book is found however, the money will be refunded.

OVERDUE BOOKS

School policy states that $10 is the replacement cost for each book not returned. Your child will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the $10 payment is made to the Tirkandi library. If the book is found the money will be refunded to you.
